As many of you will know, I have been campaigning for dialysis facilities for the new hospital due to be built near us. This has finally been agreed after a lot of campaigning and initially 4 dialysis beds will be provided. BUT the Govt has now said that due to the recession they won't fund the new hospital as promised. We are devastated but will not be easily beaten .
We have set up an on line petition to the Prime Minsister and I am asking turning to my IHD family and asking if all the British, any ex-pats, anyone in an overseas territory, a Crown dependency or on the British Armed Forces oversees would please, please sign - here is the link.

Just sent the link to all the people on my email list who live here - about 50. Hope they all sign!

This is fantastic, thanks so much. It had made the front page of our county evening paper and also the local radio news. I just could not sit around and do nothing, even if we don't achieve we will know we tried. :bunny:

Yet another added.

Thanks everyone. :2thumbsup;
Can I just ask you please to check to make sure your name has been added once you've clicked the link that they email to you - it's just that some people have signed up but their names haven't appeared (one was my Mum - it took 3 attempts to get her name on!). Also please make sure the email they send hasn't gone into your spam.
Here's the link again http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/LudlowHospital/
The numbers are increasing every hour :cheer:
